Introduction 

THIS inventory, now printed in full for the first 
time, was filed in the office of the county clerk 
of Fairfax county, Virginia, by those charged 
with the final appraisement of the personal effects of Wash- 
ington at Mount Vernon. Mr. William C. Lane, librarian 
of Harvard University, states in his "Inventory of Wash- 
ington's Library" that 

"The original will [of Washington] is still to be seen there 
[Fairfax Court House], and this with the other papers men- 
tioned was copied into the large record volumes, but at the 
bottom of p. 326, Liber J. i following the 'account of the estate 
of the late Gen'l Washington with Laurence Lewis ' is found 
this note, — ' Inventory and appraisement of the Estate of Gen'l 
George Washington Deceased (ought to be here Recorded). 
For Inventory look to Wills &c of August Court 18 10 filed. 
T. C. Nash.' But on inquiry for the files of this date it appears 
that all the original papers of this time and earlier were scat- 
tered during the occupation of Fairfax by the Federal troops 
during the Civil War. The Washington Inventory may pos- 
sibly have been saved, but its present location, if it is extant, is 
unknown to the writer." 

Fortunately this paper was preserved, and has now found 
a fitting niche in a collection of manuscripts where it not

only will be free from accidental loss but is now made ac- 
cessible by publication. An imperfect copy of the Inven- 
tory was in the possession of John A. Washington, of 
whom Edward Everett obtained a copy for use in his 
"Life of George Washington," printed in i860; but some 
leaves of the manuscript had been lost. This imperfect 
form has been reprinted several times, but never as a 
separate piece. What pertains to the library of Washington 
has been fully studied and annotated by Mr. Lane in 
the volume on the Washington collection in the Boston 
Athenaeum (Griffin-Lane), printed in 1897. 

In view of that study I have not thought it necessary 
to annotate that part of the Inventory, not even to correct 
the many errors in names and titles. The document is 
printed as it was written, and may thus serve as a basis 
for detailed study in special lines. 

The document has a high personal interest. The 
values affixed to each article are purely arbitrary, and are 
in no sense correct appraisals, whether of the market value 
of the thing, or of the value to its possessor, from actual 
cost or from association. The estate was not in dispute; 
there was no tax system which imposed making a correct 
valuation upon the executors; and the formal presentment 
of the list fulfilled the requirements of the occasion. The 
sums affixed could be omitted without impairing the real 
value of the paper, for this value lies in the light it throws 



Introduction vii 

upon the contents of the house at Mount Vernon, and in- 
cidentally upon the taste of Washington in gathering 
them. 

It may be said at this point, that Washington himself 
was not wholly responsible for the contents. This is es- 
pecially true of the library, which had grown through 
gifts rather than through purchases, and thus only in a 
slight degree reflected the personal taste or judgment of 
the man. It would give a very wrong impression to pass 
upon his reading from the list of his books, for it becomes 
evident at a glance that a majority of the volumes had 
either been sent to him by writers looking for recognition, 
or been bought in a desire to assist author or publisher in 
a venture affected with some public interest. Washing- 
ton was no reader, and his only enthusiasm lay in books 
on agriculture, which he studied and laboriously extracted 
with a minuteness that was extraordinary. As a young 
officer in the colonial militia he gave some attention to 
military books, and he is known to have read the play of 
"Cato." There is little evidence that he cared for history, 
even of the War of Independence ; and in only one instance 
has a political volume, immediately dealing with his own 
conduct, been found with his marginal notes.* An un- 
usual instance of his attention is that of the single word 

' Monroe's " View of the Conduct of the Executive of the United States," 
now in the Library of Harvard University. 



viii Introductio7i 

in his copy of Adam Smith's "Wealth of Nations," where 
he has questioned the printing of the good Scotch word 
"fiars," beheving it to be a misprint for the word "fairs." 
In his diaries he never mentions the books he was reading, 
and his correspondence rarely refers to books, unless 
formally to acknowledge a gift or a dedication, or gives 
any evidence of a bookish learning. To speak with frank- 
ness, he read for a purely commercial purpose ; to fit him- 
self for service in the camp, and to conduct his farming 
on a profitable basis. He never became a great general; 
and his agriculture never became a source of profit. In 
neither case was he responsible for this result. He never 
had an army efficient for acting on the offensive consist- 
ently, and a necessity for using slave labor balked every 
effort to improve his lands. 

In other respects the Inventory is more satisfactory, 
meagre as it is. In the last forty years the Washington 
estate, as it was called, was finally settled and a number 
of relics and manuscripts came into the market. There 
was much of undoubted value, and the prices were ade- 
quate, so much so as to encourage the fraudulent. For 
many years a rather clumsy imitation of Washington's 
writing was sold to the unwary, in the form of checks 
purporting to have been drawn upon a bank in Alexan- 
dria.' This was an innocent deception compared to some 

' These checks were the work of Robert Spring of Philadelphia.

that have been put forth in recent years, and sometimes 
by dealers of recognized position, who could not plead 
ignorance as an excuse. Not only have papers been 
wrongly assigned to Washington, but also to members of 
his family, and often without a particle of evidence to 
prove their origin or authenticity, and in the face of proof 
that they could not be as represented. His book-plate 
has been reproduced and inserted in volumes that this 
Inventory could show had never been in his library. 
Undated manuscripts have been assigned to a particular 
year, and a story woven round them that would grace any 
work of fiction, and that has proved of great profit to the 
romancer. Unfortunately this Inventory can be used 
only within narrow limits to correct such off^ers and offenses, 
and will not serve at all in testing fraudulent documents. 
The descriptions given of pictures, for example, are not 
sufficient to permit a full identification, but if twenty por- 
traits of Washington are reported as coming from Mount 
Vernon, there is ground in this volume for meeting so 
wholesale a claim. 

It is from the letters of the earlier years that a really 
fair idea can be gained of Washington's tastes in house- 
hold furnishings. A Virginia planter had only one 
market for his principal product, tobacco, and that 
market was in England or Scotland. Sending his tobacco 
there, the account was settled almost entirely by such 



X Introduction 

manufactures and other articles as were needed on the 
plantation. The system was as costly as it was unsatis- 
factory. The planter was rarely contented with the price 
he obtained for his tobacco, and the difficulties of ordering 
goods at such a distance were greatly increased by the 
poor quality of the goods themselves. Carelessness, shop- 
worn articles, indifferent workmanship, and an open dis- 
regard of orders complicated the transaction, and the time 
required for a correction (even if a correction was possi- 
ble) made the remedy ineffectual. A definite quality of 
exports, commercially known as "colonials," of second 
and third qualities, was considered as good enough for 
the colonies, and hence arose the exact descriptions in- 
cluded in the planters' orders. 

In the colonial days of Virginia almost every article used 
in the household, apart from what was grown in the garden 
or fields, was obtained from England. An invoice was a 
formidable affair, ranging from tools and nails to medi- 
cines, perfumed powder and suits, from pickles and cider 
to shoes and cloths. The last order by Martha Custis, 
in 1758, amounted to ;C3og. %s ^d and it would be difficult 
to name any article of ordinary use that had been omitted. 
This happened only three months after an order amount- 
ing to £103. 15J '^\d had been filled. In 1764 the total in- 
voice ordered was ;^474.2.9, and there is no evidence to 
show that the demand diminished in the years after the 



Introduction xi 

stamp tax troubles, when domestic industries were sup- 
posed to be rising into importance. The plantation of 
the south, with its large number of slaves, was economically 
too dependent upon England to be made free by a local, 
limited, and probably temporary industry in the northern 
colonies. 

I now quote from some of these early orders which 
Washington sent to his English agents. 

In April, 1757, when Washington was at Fort Loudoun, 
he directed his kinsman, Richard Washington, of London, 
to send him 

" A marble Chimney piece of the Dimensions Inclosd (given 
by the Workmen) the Cost not to exceed 15 Guineas. N. B. 
let it be carefully packd" 

Also "i Neat Landskip 3 feet by 2i>2 Inches == i Inch 
Margin for a Chim^" — a somewhat crude way of ob- 
taining anything of merit. These London merchants at 
times sent to their Virginia customers a gift of a picture 
or piece of furniture; but they could hardly have been 
connoisseurs of art. It was safe to look to them for 
"Two neat Mahogany Tables 4^ feet square when spread 
and to join occasionally;" and "i Doz° neat and strong 
Mahogany chairs at 21/." There was some standard by 
which to judge a "neat" Mahogany bit of furniture, or 
a "fashionable lock for a partition door;" but a "neat 



xii Introduction 

Landskip" was too indefinite. It is safe to say that few 
of the paintings at Mount Vernon, apart from some of the 
portraits, had any artistic value. In November the goods 
came by the Peggy and EHzabeth. The chimney-piece 
was in thirty-one feet of "fine new veined marble," with 
plinths and iron cramps for mounting it (;^8. 6. 6) ; the 
two mahogany tables cost £b. lo, and the chairs, described 
as "best gothick chairs, w^ Pincushion seats, stuff^t in 
y" best manner and covered with horse hair," were billed 
at £\z. 12, exclusive of packing. The landscape was 
"after Claude Lorrain" and cost £1^. 15. 6. 

In the cargo of the Salley, Captain Dick, bound to 
Rappahannock, in Virginia, came in August, 1757: 

A Bedstead with Mahogany carved and fluted pillars for 
feet Posts, yellow silk and worsted Damask Fur- 
niture, lind with Tammy, and carved cornishes

A short time after Washington wrote: 

To Richard Washington [September, 1757.I 

Dear Sir : Be pleasd over and above what I wrote for in a 
Letter of the 15'^ April and 10'!' Inst? to send me one doz? 
strong chairs of about fifteen shillings price, the bottoms to be 
exactly made by the Inclosd Dimensions and of three different 
colours to suit the paper of three of the bed Chambers (also 
wrote for in my last). I must acquaint you, Sir, with the Reason 
of this request. I have one doz° chairs that were made in the 
Country neat but too weak for common sitting. I therefore 
purpose to take the bottoms out of those and put them into 
these now ordered, while the bottoms which you send will do for 
the former and furnish the Chambers : for this Reason the 
Workman must be very exact, neither making the bottoms 
larger nor smaller than the dimensions, otherwise the change 
cant be made, be kind enough to give directions that these 
chairs equally with the others and Tables be carefully packd 
and stowed, without this Caution they are liable to infinite 
damage. I am D' Sir, Yf most obed' &c.

Introduction xv 

In the same shipment came from Richard Farrer some 
glass ware and branched candlesticks, and " i pair Seasons, 
& I pair Music's figures" for the sticks. 

Another invoice of some interest came in the following 
March, for it included some articles of ornament. Wash- 
ington had in September, 1759, asked his factor to obtain 
for him 8 pieces, as follows : 

4. One of Alex' y® Great; another of Julius Caesar; an^ 

of Ch? 12 Sweden; and a 4th of y" King of Prussia. 

N. B. These are not to exceed 15 Inch? in hight, nor 

10 in width — for brok° Pedim" 
2 other Busts of Prince Eugene & y* Duke of Marlbor^ — 

somewh*^ smalK 
2 wild Beasts — not to exceed 12 Inch" in highth nor 18 

in length. 
Sundry small Ornaments for Chimy piece. 

The selection showed his evident taste for great generals, 
and he was still ambitious of military service, if it could be 
given without injury to his claims of rank. It must have 
been something of a disappointment to find, on opening the 
cases, that his wishes had been thus carried into effect: 

A groupe of ^Eneas carrying his Father out of Troy with 
4 Statues, viz. his Father Anchises, his wife Creusa, 
himself and his son Ascanius, neatly finisht and 
bronzd with Copper ^3-3

Neat & bronzd with copper, £1.5 each 2.10 

The agent thought some explanation was necessary, for 
he wrote: 

"These is y' best Ornaments I coud possibly make for the 
Chimney Piece, and of all the wild Beasts as could be made 
there is none thought better than the Lyons. The manner of 
placing them on y^ Chimney piece sh'' be thus

Introduction xvii 

In April, 1763, Richard Farrer sent another china set 
complete, of fine blue and white, consisting of 

1 1 long Dishes | 

24 plates, 12 soop plates, i Tureen Cov"^ & Dish \ 12.0.0 

4 Sauce Boats 4 Salts |

ID Mats 13'' 10.10 

March, 1765 

10 Mahogany chairs hair bottoms 27/ 13.10.0. 

2 Arm Do 40/6 4.1 

In June, 1768, he asked for "as good a spy glass as can 
be bought for 60/ of a good artist." A year later he wanted 
"a large hunting horn, bound tight round with small brass 
wire from one end to the other, and secured in such a 
manner as to prevent the wires slipping," quite an order 
for "y* most fashionable kind of Queens Ware," and as 
handsome a fowling piece, three and one-half feet in the 
barrel, as could be bought for three guineas. In July, 
1 77 1, he orders "a candlestick with two lights, and a shade 
to read and write by, such as they have in the Public 
Offices, not to exceed 29/," and two sockets for seals, one 



xviii Introduction 

to have topaz or some other handsome stone, with the 
Washington arms neatly engraved thereon, and the other, 
a plain stone, with the Washington crest. 

The extracts could be extended, but enough has been 
given to show the little connection possible between the 
articles bought and those listed in the Inventory. During 
the War of Independence little was added to the Mount 
Vernon household, and after the peace, Washington was 
too much occupied in making good the sad results of neglect 
and inefficiency to buy largely. His correspondence with 
Tobias Lear is suggestive, and that with Clement Biddle 
would add much to our knowledge of his purchases. After 
all, the net result is to be found in this Inventory, and it 
will hardly be possible to go beyond it in seeking to re- 
construct Mount Vernon as it was in his day. 

The survey is an early product of Washington's work, 
and is obtained from the Library of Congress. It is strange 
that there is no floor plan of the house at Mount Vernon 
that could be used in this volume. The only one in print 
was in such a form that its reproduction was forbidden.
